I really didn't think this would be tougher than the find the yellow fire truck challenge.

I looked up covered bridges and see there are over 1800 in Texas, and over 1100 in Louisiana.

I thought everyone had seen or been near a covered bridge. I guess I thought wrong.

I did a google search for a website that came up real quick. This site lists all kinds of bridges in every state including the covered ones.

According to that site there are no covered bridges in La using their search engine. Searching Google one site said there are quite a few, but they include bridges between buildings, which I would would never have thought of.

I highly doubt there are 1800 covered driveable bridges in Texas. I've never seen one here, I work in the oilfields, , I've been coming here for 19 years, and I've lived here over 2 years, and have driven over 150,000 miles in this state fr0m one end to the other and north to south. Have I seen the whole state? No. Far from it. But if there were 1800, I would have seen at least 1.

I did a search, and it showed 5 or 6 in the entire state. One of these is inside the San Antonio zoo.

I am anxious for someone to complete this.....

Ok, I will change the challenge a little.
Covered bridge, tunnel, cave, something that you ride into/through on a road (any type of road you define) even a hollowed out tree would work.
Extra for creativity (like snow behind a skating rink) Overpasses don't count though.

Your bike inside, or near the entrance or exit (whichever is safe) with your favorite sports something on the gas tank.

I should have taken some pics at Iron Mountain Road when I was there. I'm thinking it was updated after I went. Cool pics either way, pulled from my GoPro video.
